You're Not Little Xue'er's Favorite Father Anymore!

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy? It really is a good academy, but it'll be a little difficult for you to get in."

After a pause, Huo Wu explained, "Heaven Dou Royal Academy was established by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Most of the students there are nobles, while only a few are geniuses. With your level-three Innate Soul Power, getting in will be very difficult."

"There probably won't be a problem. After taking that Spirit Medicine, my Martial Soul evolved. My Innate Soul Power definitely isn't level three anymore." However, Ye Xiao could not be sure how much his talent had improved.

Huo Wu's eyes widened. "Martial Soul Evolution?!"

"That's right." Ye Xiao summoned the Five Elements Jade Seal. "My Jade Seal was originally made of stone, but now it's made of jade, and it possesses Five Attributes."

Huo Wu stared at the exquisite Jade Seal, the corner of her mouth twitching.

Is this what a lucky person is like?

She suddenly disliked lucky people a little.

But since she had met her younger brother, didn't that mean she was lucky too?

Huo Wu grabbed Ye Xiao's hand and said sweetly, "Younger Brother, were there any other Spirit Medicines where you found that one?"

Huo Wu's sugary voice gave Ye Xiao goosebumps.

[Ye Qianxue (Second Generation): Hahaha, so this is Mother Huo Wu? She can even talk in that cutesy voice. So scary.]

[Ye Kaining (Third Generation): She's completely different from the current Grandma Huowu.]

[Ye Yuanling (Third Generation): Agreed.]

Expressionless, Ye Xiao cut off the Live Broadcast. He had nearly forgotten that there were three people watching.

[Ye Qianxue (Second Generation): Huh? Father, you awful father! You actually kept it all to yourself!]

[Ye Qianxue (Second Generation): You're not Little Xue'er's favorite father anymore!!]

[Ye Kaining (Third Generation): Aunt, speak normally. You're already in your thirties where I am, so this feels a little strange.]

[Ye Qianxue (Second Generation): Shut up!]

[Ye Kaining (Third Generation): Oh.]

"There aren't any more. There was only that one plant, and I ate it by accident. How was I supposed to know it was something good? Besides, how could something this valuable possibly grow together?" Ye Xiao shrugged.

"That's true." Huo Wu was not disappointed.

"Here, I'll give you one Fire Pattern Fruit when the time comes," Ye Xiao said.

"Really?" Huo Wu's large eyes seemed to brighten noticeably.

"Yeah, I can't use them all myself." Ye Xiao nodded.

"Thank you so much!"

The enormous surprise instantly overwhelmed straightforward Huo Wu.

In a moment of impulse, she threw open her arms and pounced on him, giving Ye Xiao a firm hug. Then, before he could react, she planted several loud kisses on his fair, delicate cheek.

The warm, soft, moist sensation, carrying a Girl's unique scent, landed on his face without warning. Ye Xiao went rigid, his brain blanking out for a second.

The next second, he hurriedly pushed Huo Wu away. Shock was written all over his face as he quickly raised his sleeve and vigorously wiped his kissed cheek, glaring at her resentfully.

After being pushed away, Huo Wu came back to her senses and realized what she had just done.

Her face was so red it looked ready to drip blood, and even the tips of her ears had been dyed crimson.

Her hands twisted together helplessly as she lowered her head, nervously rubbing her toes against the ground. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz. "S-Sorry... I... it was my first time doing something like that too... I got a little too excited."

After saying that, she secretly raised her eyes to peek at Ye Xiao's expression.

Ye Xiao looked at her shy, girlish manner with some helplessness.

What kind of mess is this?

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Terrifying impacts, accompanied by the rustling sound of Crushed Stone falling, came from the Cave Entrance.

There was also the unwilling roar of the Silver Wind Wolf.

Outside, the Silver Wind Wolf that had been toyed with was frantically attacking the entrance with its powerful body and sharp claws.

"Ah!" Huo Wu cried out in fright at the sudden impacts. Instinctively, she shrank closer to Ye Xiao, plopping down beside him with a slight tremble running through her body.

She nervously grabbed Ye Xiao's arm. "Ye... Brother Ye Xiao... the Cave Entrance... it should be okay, right? It won't rush in, will it?"

Ye Xiao steadied himself. "Don't worry. The Rock Wall at the Cave Entrance is very thick, and the structure is sturdy. The entrance is narrow too. It's too large, so it'll be difficult for it to force its way in just by ramming it.

"Besides, judging by the noise, it's mostly venting its anger. It hasn't found an effective way to break through."

"Also, your Soul Power is higher than mine, and you're older than me. Why are you still scared?" Ye Xiao was somewhat speechless. Who exactly was the older sister here?

Huo Wu smiled awkwardly.

"I've never fought a Spirit Beast either. Someone else even helped me obtain my First Spirit Ring."

"Then someone should have been helping you this time. How did things end up like this?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion.

Huo Wu sighed softly and said troubledly, "My luck was bad. A Spirit Saint was originally accompanying me, but a rather powerful Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast appeared. He separated from me to lure it away."

"And I failed to escape, so that Silver Wind Wolf targeted me. If I hadn't met you, I probably would have been in grave danger."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. "Then your luck really is bad. In an outer region like this, Spirit Beasts that are tens of thousands of years old rarely appear. It was probably driven out from deeper inside."

"Mm... I just wonder how Uncle Xiao is doing." Huo Wu said worriedly.

"Don't worry. A Spirit Saint has a Martial Soul Avatar. As long as the difference in strength isn't too great, he'll be fine. He only needs to lure the Spirit Beast away, not kill it."

"Mm."

Huo Wu shook her head. "How many more days until this Fire Pattern Fruit matures?"

Ye Xiao asked in the Chat Group. "It'll mature tomorrow."

"Then we'll wait until tomorrow. Maybe that Silver Wind Wolf will leave by then, and we can get out too." Huo Wu nodded.

"Okay."

Feeling a little bored, Ye Xiao brought Tuantuan out from inside his body.

Huo Wu was immediately drawn to the Little Cloud in Ye Xiao's arms, which emitted a faint five-colored glow.

"Wow!" Huo Wu's eyes lit up as she pointed at Tuantuan. "What is that? It's so cute! Is it a Spirit Beast? Why does it look like a cloud? It even glows!"

Ye Xiao glanced at Tuantuan in his arms, who was somewhat wary of Huo Wu, then nodded. "Mm, you could say it's a type of Spirit Beast, but it's my Spirit Soul now."

Ye Xiao was not afraid to tell her. Huo Wu was a smart person and knew what should be said and what should not.

Besides, once Tuantuan's cultivation increased in the future, being exposed was only a matter of time.

"Spirit Soul?" Huo Wu blinked her large eyes, utterly confused.

The term was unfamiliar to her. The theory classes at Blazing Fire Academy did not seem to have mentioned such a thing.

"I don't know the specifics very well either." Ye Xiao had long prepared an explanation. Said calmly, he explained half-truthfully, "A passing Mysterious Person gave it to me.

"He said that a Spirit Soul is a special existence that can form an Equal Contract with a Soul Master.

"Once the contract succeeds, the Spirit Soul can grant the contracted Soul Master corresponding Spirit Rings based on its own cultivation.

"Tuantuan has Hundred Year Cultivation, so it can provide me with Two Hundred Year Spirit Rings."
